Role Play Chat - The Rule Of Cool with David from the From Afar Podcast S3E8

The Rule Of Cool with David from the From Afar Podcast S3E8

05/25/22 • 65 min

Role Play Chat
We have all heard of the “Rule Of Cool” but it what does implementing it actually mean? Can all tables, genres and settings pull it off? In today's episode we talk about what this “rule” means and how to make cool moments happen in a fun and narratively engaging way. Join me and David as we talk about everything COOL. If you liked David's insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find him on twitter at @davidtilstra or listen to his podcast at http://www.fromafarpodcast.com Enjoy!

Cinematic Moments with Rhett from StackODice S3E7

We ALL want to replicate that oscar wining monologue or the slow panoramic camera pan over the horizon at our table, but how exactly can you make a moment like that? Can you or does it come organically? In today's episode we talk about cinematic moments and how to engage your players in a way that makes these moments stand out and feel natural. Join me and Rhett as we talk about the kinds of cinematic moments, how we try to prepare for them and hear some cool examples of descriptive imagery from Rhett!

If you liked Rhett's insights (who am I kidding, of course you did) you can find him on twitter at @StackODice or listen to his podcast at https://stackodice.podbean.com/

Enjoy! Mat
